This looks like a really cool idea. I like the redesign from a normal newspaper website, but — and this is where my lack of Spanish comes in — I don’t understand who would pay for this. If it’s just another news site, then that information can be gathered for free.

I think, and from what i know about Arcadi Espada, the leader of the project, this payment will allow users to engage closely (closer) with the life of the newsroom. Espada is politically engaged, but does not have a specific party orientation, so his purpose is to create a relationship between the content and the readers, so i think subscribers will have more access to that than the one’s who didn’t subscribed “Factual”. And most of the content – hard news – is open access. Only the long feature, specialized stories are behind walls. I just think that they could – and many should – have an option to buy a specific long feature article, even without being a subscriber.
